Tasting notes
Supple tannins, this kicks off with a lovely brambled fruit character, grilled sandalwood and soft tar along with cheerful damson and black cherry. Good quality, oak a little intrusive but there is plenty to enjoy here, and it is ready to drink.

Another magnum donated by Jean-Christophe Mau, and another extremely user-friendly bordeaux. Very deep crimson, modern but not excessive style. This would be a great wine to use to introduce neophytes to bordeaux with. Suave, fresh with masses of maturing fruit and the tannins present but not dominant. No great complexity yet but very well made. (JR)
Pear juice with an overlay of cat pee – and far from unpleasant! Very high acidity and astringency. Needs time. Medium weight. (JR)
